Innovator90:
What's Federal government doing with almost 150 hectares of land in the smallest state by land mass after Lagos? That's nearly 10% of the whole Anambra state nah. Wicked people...want to cleverly seize these lands so that you will prevent SE from developing; prevent the industrious indigenes from developing their states. If they want land to develop, build industry, they will tell them this is federal government land, you can't touch it yet the land remains undeveloped. Another indirect marginalization scheme employed to keep SE undeveloped. If you want land, my friend go to the North where the land there is almost 100x of SE's land. Wicked government...always wanting to straggle Igbos to death even when they are on their own. They will leave their North with massive land, trooping to SE. Same with Fulani, you leave your massive land, yet looking to rear your cattle in this tiny, very tiny SE's land. Who is fooling who? They do these because SE's land is very fertile; that's why there are lots of trees and greenery...gorgeous vegetations.

Anambra greenery

Chai!;I can see why the oyinbo say 'ignorance is a disease' and I want to add that 'only knowledge and sound understanding could cure it'.

The land use Act says all land belongs to the govt. That's means all levels of government has land that belongs to them as classified by the act and there is a procedure to acquire land from each level of government. l

This land mentioned here originally belongs to Anambra and the FG acquired it, following the expected procedures, therefore its not stealing because Anambra Govt consented to it through the right of occupancy.

Why am I even responding to this post self? They say 'silience is the best answer f a fool and an ignorant person are always a fool' so I stop here.

The guy Abdul Olatoyan is just like a typical and average Nigeria guy who wants wealth overnight; who doesn't want to sow but reap.

Abeg house me with this o.
Wife had failed inducement and later CS, in all she spent 5 days in the hospital. the baby came on the 3rd day.

We paid the ob/gyn fee before the baby was born at all. Now, the ob/gyn office has send a bill of about $600 for the baby (under the explanation activity of initial hospital; subsequent hospital car; and Hospital discharge day), we paid for the pediatric visit separately o.

Abeg, is this normal? The clinic is in Conroe Texas

MO Ibrahim foundation still want the award to be prestigious.

Does it come with a sanction for anyone who fails to consider this law? If not, the bill na trash!

What was the experience travelling back with them to Nigeria with a baby? Does the Airplane have spacious space for preggy? and I hear they strict with preggy. What is the max they can take? 20 weeks?DW is traveling in her 34th week[/quote]The max arik carry is 28 weeks. they have a good spacious seat. We haven't fly them back home with baby but I have seen people with babies on their flight and there is no complain.

herrik066:
Dear good pple, does anyone has experience flying Arik to and fro? Please share abeg. DW and I are thinking of using Arik cause of the hike in flight fare by other airline.

Arik isn't bad. Its direct flight to NY and you just spend 10 - 11 hours on air. Don't expect too much especially as it concerns in-flight entertainment and menu by expect something.

If you would need more of anything, ask them. For me, I am addicted to them to JFK because of their good price, short travel hours and u get to destination at cool time (usually early morning). There might be delay before departure, but pilot most time make it up by arrival at a time you are get to destination or a little above it. Your flight could be delayed for a day too if there is a serious mechanical fault beyond their control.

All-in-all, they ain't bad.

The future of this country bleeds if the so called literates/elites of this country read only newspaper headlines without digesting its main content and make comments especially on national issue and issues that deal with law and order.

How can a country grow when there are aso many business who want to exploit the educated illiterate. Example of this business is the newspaper company that reported this news.

To the educated illiterates we have here, this will only cause sacking of those who hasn't done things right and believe they can be earning free salary they don't deserve from the Federal Government.

Ehe what different does it make?

It simply implies that an Accountant is a professional while a clerk does a support work for the professional.

Prof. Sophie Oluwole nailed it. Watch this video

Speech Highlights:

- Research shows that African kids are brilliant than the white kids before starting school at age 6 but white kids get brilliant more than African kids after they start school.
- Research shows that Nigerian students taught in Nigerian indigenous language does better than students taught in English Language.
- University education is about theory.
- HND Accounting graduate can be called an accountant but B.Sc Accounting graduate is just a clerk.

GEJ had technocrats in his cabinet that was why the economy was okay, unlike Buhari's Mosquito cabinet

Another member of his cabinet with international appointment, kudos to him.



Remember Kachukwu, Buhari's oil minister spent only 2days on that same seat

Are wailers this illiterate? If one want to wail, wail with the full understanding of what you are to wail about. For your info, OPEC administrative Secretary General is different from OPEC management Secretary General.

Are they wailing because they are illiterate or possess half knowledge of what they wail about?

slightlyMad:
immediate relatives are brothers, sisters, father, mother who are permanent residents or citizens.
if you fill them on the ds-160, you wont.
maybe they have gotten it in the past and used it well, they may get it again on account of the integrity they have built
but apply now in 2016
To them, your immediate relative could file and once approved, you could adjust status, forget ties.
i wont argue much on this, wait for those 2 applicants i quoted

That is very very incorrect. I know a person who was given visa in the last week of the month of April, 2016 (her first application o! Lagos embassy o!!)and her Sister lives in USA and she stated that frankly in her ds-160 form

All the posters that said they didn't know how to apply on LinkedIn, I pity you in this 21st century

For those you don't know how to open LinkedIn account, I doubt if the job is meant for you, because how can someone who can't open just an internet account be a Junior data analyst.

The problem of unemployment or under-employment in Nigeria is not because there are no jobs, it is because there are no skills and attitude to do the existing jobs.

Hard work pays. The guy being discussed here started this thing in Ilorin, Kwara State. God Bless his hustle!

Pls house, does ob/gyn package fee usually cover mother doctor's visit 2 week of post-delivery?

My loyalty for Arikair got shaken last night (April 17). There was a technical issue as our flight was on ranp and was ascend to the sky. Unfortunately, the flight was rescheduled to 24 - 48hrs. The annoying thing is that there was no proper/good communication on how we would be lodge into hotel before our next departure; hence we shut down their operations and they couldn't check in passengers or airlift till 11:00am on Monday.18th April. This delay made me to lose $170 at 300naira to $1 been a flight fee paid for New York to Houston.

They showed us pepper and we rubbed it in their face, even Minister of Information couldn't board his arikair flight to UK today.


@mumcshyn
I couldn't make the flight again last night. Let me know if would still need it at my new time departure (which is not yet known)

@ mumcshyn
@all

I can help take this thing along tonight if other nairalanders/mom here that is well known here can identify you. My flight is 11:00pm today sunday April 17. Don't forget you will need mom here to identify u.

The PTA waka is real o!
I was at Stanbic-Ibtc head office yesterday and today for the PTA which I applied for over 2 weeks ago, but they told me they don't have fund for 2 weeks now. My account officer at sterling bank who promise me $2k this week too also failed, though he assured me he will get it for me next week, but my travel date is this Sunday.

Lesson learnt: If you really need the PTA, better start the waka latest 1 month to ur travel date and also involve ur bank account officer (let him/her start the process for u)

If you have a genuine (govt approved) reason to exchange dollar, it is 199.50 to buy and 197.00 if you are selling.

hardeymijuh:
@cmeo, which hospital is your wife using?

Conroe Regional Medical Center Tx.

I was able to do Form A to pay wife hospital bill at Sterling Bank. It took almost 5 weeks from the date of application because the amount was over $4k. I heard it takes about 74hrs for $4k or below (transaction subjected to availability of fund within bank) and takes weeks for amount over $4k (transaction subjected to availability of fund in CBN).

kennycanny:
My brother u are almost totally correct. They have denied so many genuine applicant somehow.

If you are not blessed with '' I am doing fine appearance'' you ll need miracle to get a tourist US Visa. One of my big ogars in the office that by appearance wise you ll not no he his a big man was refused visa , while his surbodinates are chopping Visa like garri.
its easier for a 'corporate begger' to get a US visa than someone with a good job but with no ''I am doing fine appearance''

I beg to disagree. I didn't have a boss look when I got my USA visa o and even up till now the boss look is not there. I was around my mid-twenties, single then and I told them my salary was 25k and the visa was given to me.
